THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF SALVAGED DOORS

IR: We'd like to highlight the many uses of salvaged vintage and antique doors as a part of our Custom Build Services here at Mignonne, and show you what we can help you to achieve.

Vintage doors are a simple way to add that sought after vintage charm to your home. The plethora of applications makes them not just a one use item, no longer do they simply offer a barrier from one room to the next. Get rid of your flimsy Home Depot quick fix, and get real, with a solid, high quality vintage creation!

With years of in-home interior decorating and restoration experience, Mignonne has collected some of our favorite doors and used them for a variety of projects, we can help you do it too...

Right off the bat: vintage doors can be used in place of drab store bought ones, but that's certainly not the only possibility...doors can be transformed into head boards or room dividers, or more. To customize your own door project, first think of your needs and intentions. Maybe you need a facade to conceal storage?

This sliding horse-stall door transformation was shared by Design Sponge. It demonstrates the space saving quality of a door on a sliding track.

This technique can be used for all sorts of places around the house (or apartment).  And Mignonne can install the sliding track or any other door solutions!

We can also customized a headboard with one or more salvaged doors. The more doors the more grand the effect, here we have a pretty substantial headboard of two doors, found on Dreamy Whites Blog.

Dishfunctional Designs has highlighted a number of really awesome ideas to make use of old doors, but that's not the limit, if you can dream it up we can work together to make it happen!

With years of in-home interior decorating experience, owner & lead designer of Mignonne Decor, Johnelle, has collected some of her favorite doors and used them for a variety of projects like her booth dividers when we set up shop at the Alameda Point Antiques Fair.


Salvaged doors can be found in places such as Urban Ore, and Ohmega Salvage.
